1, 5 tips for keeping in good health in spring
1. Comb your hair in the morning and soak your feet at night.
"On Health" said: "In March of spring, comb your hair one or two hundred times a day in the morning. When you lie down at night, put a pinch of salt in the hot soup and wash your knees until you lie down, so as to drive away wind and poison beriberi and not stagnate." In other words, combing your hair in the morning in spring and soaking your feet in light salt water at night can promote blood circulation, health care and disease prevention.
2, go to bed late and get up early, don't fall in love with bed.
Spring health should keep the habit of "going to bed late and getting up early" in sleep. Going to bed late means going to bed after 9 pm. Getting up early means getting up as soon as the sun rises, which is conducive to the growth of qi. Sleeping late is not as late as possible. You'd better go to sleep before 1 1 at night, otherwise your eyes will be red and your anger will rise the next day.
3. Advocate morning exercise stretching.
We advocate stretching exercise in the morning because after a night's sleep, the human body is soft and relaxed, and the blood circulation is slow. Therefore, when we wake up, we always feel lazy and weak. At this time, if we stretch our limbs, stretch our muscles hard, and take a deep breath, we will have the functions of inducing vomiting, promoting qi and blood circulation, dredging meridians and joints, and refreshing ourselves, which can relieve fatigue and wake up.
4. Keep drinking plenty of water every day.
Drinking more water every day can enhance the circulation speed of the body system, relieve the nervous body function, improve the early warning ability and energy consumption. In fact, another advantage of drinking water is to lose weight. If you consume 16 ounces of water every day, you can lose 5 pounds a year.
Don't cut down on clothes in a hurry.
In spring, due to the great climate change and sunny weather, the variability and cold in early spring are often ignored. So it's best to wear it slowly, and don't change it into short-sleeved shorts in summer. Cold pathogens can hurt the lungs and easily lead to nasal congestion, cough and cold, especially for middle-aged and elderly people. Everyone knows that "spring covers autumn", and the degree of covering is not to sweat too much. If the weather is very hot, it is not good to have three floors inside and three floors outside, and it is not good to sweat a lot.
2. Hygienic taboos in spring
Avoid cold food
In early spring, you can choose some foods that can dispel wind and cold, such as garlic, onion and celery, which will help prevent typhoid colds, respiratory infections, heart diseases and strokes. In addition, Chinese medicine believes that spring health preservation focuses on nourishing the liver and stomach, with the focus on soothing the liver first. Therefore, in terms of diet, we should eat more foods that warm and tonify the yang, and pay attention to the balance of protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins and minerals in food, and try to eat less spicy food to prevent excessive liver qi.
In terms of strengthening the spleen and promoting diuresis, we should eat less cold things this season to protect the yang of the spleen and stomach, and we can usually eat more foods such as crucian carp, carrots, yam and millet to achieve the goal of strengthening the spleen. Appropriate supplementation of honey, jujube, yam, tremella, etc. also helps to regulate the spleen and stomach. At the same time, eating more fresh vegetables in spring can reduce the occurrence of stomatitis, angular stomatitis, glossitis and some skin diseases.
